Greetings, Arsians! The Dealmaster is back with more deals to share today. Topping our list this time is our favorite Thunderbolt 3 dock, which is discounted on Apple's online store. Now you can get the CalDigit TS3 Plus for just $249.95, which is $60 less than its normal price of $310. Apple has had the TS3 Plus dock for $250 for a few weeks now, but it remains the lowest price we've seen on this versatile and powerful docking station. It's currently our favorite Thunderbolt 3 dock for many reasons: we love its unassuming yet professional metal design, its 15-port array, its 85W power delivery, and its fast performance.

If you have a PC that primarily uses USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports for connectivity, chances are that you have accessories and peripherals that aren't compatible thanks to their older connections. CalDigit's dock fixes that problem by giving you basically any port you need-it has multiple Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, and USB-A ports, as well as a DisplayPort, an SD card reader, and various audio in and out ports. It can also support two external 4K displays running at 60Hz, or one 5K display running at 60Hz.

While $250 may still seem steep for a dock, most other Thunderbolt 3 docks that are actually worth buying are around that price as well. To put it in perspective, our runner-up Thunderbolt 3 dock from Cable Matters typically costs $239. If you're willing to spend $250 on a dock like this, we recommend snagging CalDigit's TS3 Plus while Apple has it at this low price.
